A Quick Update to my Supporting the Library challenge
I’m reading up a storm! Okay, so maybe it’s only a tropical storm, and no Category 5 hurricane. But, I’m making progress, slowly but surely. To pick up where I left off last time, I’ve finished #17, #18 and #19 on the list. Plus, a few more [...]

Since the browser in which I do most of my blogging has been crashing on me every time I enter it, I’ve taken the opportunity to catch up on some of my reading. I’ve even joined GoodReads, to help organize what I’m reading and I’ve read. It’s while updating my current reading status that I [...]

OMG, I’m writing poetry again, thanks to one of regular inspirational sources, the Weekend Wordsmith. This week, Rich posted a picture of a Path. I’m not sure why, but here’s where my mind conjured at first look…okay, maybe second look (first look, I thought, “dirty stones” – hah!):

The purpose of this blog entry is simple: I think I’m delicious and want to be Noshed.
What??? :O
I’m referring to the site Blog Nosh, which is basically a collection of some of the best, entertaining or informative blog entries on the web at a given moment. What makes me think I’m good enough for [...]

Bow-chicka-wow-wow! It’s Limericks Day! It’s a day to write/read/say “fun” poems in honor of Edward Lear’s birthday [May 12th], whom wrote all sorts of nonsense. I’ve enjoyed his writings since before I could analyze them to death [for various literature classes]. So, to celebrate the day, I’ve written some more of [...]

I’ve recently found this great site called Wordle.net a little that allows one to make all sorts of word pictures. A person could even call it a word poem, of sorts. One can create this picture with any text. And, finally I have had a chance to play! This particular one is not just any [...]

Yep, it’s been a whole year since I last blogged about what happened on this day a *cough* while ago. So, excuse me for a moment as I say “Happy Birthday” to myself. *repeats in a whisper: Happy Birthday, self*

Hey world…I’m blogging and I’m not gonna take it anymore. Okay, even I’m not sure what that means. Perhaps, I’m paraphrasing a movie quote again – very, very badly.
Anyway, I’m going back to one of my favorite memes. Even though it’s not my most popular post, it’s a neat personal challenge for me.

It’s been way too long since I’ve gotten silly–oh, wait–yeah, I forgot about last week (and how I started out this year). But, that was then, and this is now. Yes, it’s a book reference.
